Appeal, Appeal, Appeal

Don't accept a credit decision like it is an order from your commander that must be followed.
There is usually a process at most colleges to appeal any transfer credit acceptance decision.
If you can convince the school that your previous class is similar enough to a class at their school you can often get them to change their decision.
Spending an hour or so doing that can save an entire semester's worth of work and money.
